sams1raWell... It was a Sera Gamble episode...
You win some, you lose some, and the minute I realized it was a Gamble episode, I totally groaned.
I'm still waiting for the creepy little girl, but I guess there was gore enough to fill her quota.
IMO, this episode had fanfic written all over it. Now, I agree, they don't have as much time as we do, they had money issues and time issues and whatnot, but this? Come on.
If I had to describe this in one word - lame.
It was predictable from start to finish - I mean, seriously, the angel thing didn't surprise me one bit. What did surprise me was Dean's total lack of fashion sense (God, those shirts and those ties! *shudders*)
There were a few things I liked though. I mean, at first, before I realized it's a fic I've probably read somewhere, I was shocked and appalled by Dean's suit, and just went Where's my Show??? HOMG!! \0/ \0/
And thought that feeling didn't go away, I was kinda tickled by how bored Sam was with normal. Really. Made me point and him and go Ha Ha. Normal's a bitch, Sam.
I thought it was awesome that the brothers took tips from the Ghostfacers. Hee. Awesome. That part I loved, even when it was lame. I mean, Dean being awesome at research and getting rid of all the carbs and Sam craving for beer? *coughfanficcough*
Dean telling Sam he was oversharing was amusing.
And then Sam did that disgusted little face when Dean called him Sammy and it was just... Man, I wanted to punch him. He's the only one that's allowed to call you that, remember?
You know what the sad thing is? It's that even though Sam was bored out of his mind and craved for more, Dean fit in. He liked his life, he liked normal, and apparently, normal liked him. He could totally be anything he wanted. I mean, yes, he didn't get to be director on his own, but still. He has such potential.
And that angel talking about fornication like it's a good thing? Come on! I can't believe that worked. And Jen, this was not your week, I'm sorry. That almost smile at the thought of being a hero? I didn't buy that.
Don't get me wrong, I'm tired of the woe is me attitude, but this? Was so lame. I was actually bored.
Yeah, this one goes in the 'pretend it didn't happen' pile.
And do you know what I've realized? 5 episodes left!! \0/

Date: 2009-03-28 03:53 pm (UTC)I agree that we needed a break, but this was just so... lame. Predictable in every way (except for those damn ties) and so fanfic-y...
But hey, at least some people liked it, so yay.
I'm... okay. Waiting to see what my friend has to say about the story. Though, after that last episode, I'm getting a little more confident in my writing. Hee.
*hugs and gives you cookies*
